Questions About Bus Accident Lawsuits
in Denver and throughout Colorado and Wyoming
Who is responsible for injuries received in a bus accident?
This can be a very difficult question to answer. If the bus was the vehicle at fault, you may have a claim against the driver, the owner, or the operator of the bus, depending on the specifics. If another driver was at fault, you may be able to seek compensation from his or her insurance company as well. If a governmental agency is involved, your bus accident lawyer will need to follow special rules for you to recover.
What is a common carrier?
A common carrier is a special class of vehicle, such as a bus, train, airplane, or semi truck that is subject to strict regulations by the state. Compliance or noncompliance with any applicable regulations may be an important aspect of your case if you were injured in a bus accident.
What should I do if I've been in a bus accident?
First, seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel OK. Many serious injuries are not immediately apparent. Second, get all the information you can about the accident and all of the parties involved. Third, contact an experienced bus accident attorney, who can help you get the compensation you need for the injuries you've suffered. It is important that you not sign or agree to anything with another party to the accident or with any insurance company before consulting your own attorney.
